Why are atheists so overwhelmingly white and male?

Atheism cant truly be real to me imo, because all observable life is created by another life in one form of another, whether the reproduction is sexual or asexual, life can’t exist without something sentient to create it (this includes plants and fungi). So being an atheist to me means you just don’t really accept that all life has a beginning, and when you look at the people who value life THE LEAST it’s white males, because they kill themselves more than anyone else and kill other people more than anyone else.


That’s just me though, I don’t find it productive to argue with someone to believe in God when they don’t want to. I’d rather argue the ps4 is better than the ps5

Not wanting Christian fascists stripping people of their rights Isn’t fukking militancy.

We have a bunch of fukking Christian fundamentalists in the US stripping us of our rights and you think atheists are the militant ones? These people are trying to ban fukking birth control for christs sakes

What atheist is currently in government stripping Christians of their rights due their religion? I’ll wait for that answer :jbhmm:

I swear a bunch of yall don’t live in the same reality as the rest of us when I see stuff like that written on here

Some of you guys can't wait to fly off the handle can you:beli:

I never said all atheists are militant nor talk down principled secular humanists who oppose the erosion of separation of church and state. I support such people and prefer them in government compared to evangelical types.

The issue is some people dispute others having religious views on principle and would be questionable imo if they had the same power as evangelicals. Think the Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris types or Steven Pinker writing a NYT editorial years back that Francis Collins should not head the NIH because he is a born again Christian.

I respect the right to be atheist in thought and life as fine and am not on the bs like the War against Christmas etc. It is telling though if any conversation about religion and America jumps to the batshyt crazy fascist types angling for power with religion as a facade as what Christianity in the American populace boils down to.

Yes I jumped to the people ruining our country the people you talked about are border line white supremacists who have zero power so you also jumped to fukking extremists.

I don’t want to hear shyt about “militant atheists” when the people that are stripping us of our rights and in every arm of government are Christians. Spare me your bullshyt I’m not interested in it

I’m tired of y’all equating folks that have no power in this country to folks who quite literally ruined everything and destroying peoples lives. Miss me with that bullshyt

Been dodging this thread like Ali avoiding swings, but here's my two cents on such subjects....

Its take a strong person to believe in what they cannot see....

Why you think most white folks fold under pressure as something as little as a demotion? Faith is such a harsh and tedious action that's given to man, but such things require a lot of believing and sacrifice.

I'm not going to say all white folks and black folks of that matter, but the consensus on some "God's not real" shyt don't want to believe that they don't own shyt from the get go.

This is all one big paradox of action and testament. We are put on this earth for various reasons, and most folks would rather go about life head in the sand, instead of looking up in the clouds. I have had debates with full-blown atheists that always spew the same ole nonsense all over again, but I always tell my wife that...they're believing in something, which is such irony that they don't believe that God doesn't exist.

At the end of the day, you are believing...but it takes one step in believing in God. When you are tested, you see the biggest results at the end of the trial. When a white person goes through the motions, they resort to anger, bitterness, and doing the absolute most, including self harm. Not because the light is so stretch beyond the tunnel, but they don't want to withstand the rain and get a hold of being humble.


For instance, the dude that killed himself on a Facebook feed. If dude could have waited, he would have realized his worth on earth. While he had that shotgun to his neck, that phone call in an instant could have saved his life. He could have gotten a woman that can withstand his way, or better himself. A better job with benefits and lack of stress. Along with understanding that it is okay to be not okay, but you will be okay in the long run of life.

When I was going through the motions, I almost killed myself...but so many factors steer me into the direction of choosing life. Mainly my son who ran out to hug me. My wife who constantly prayed over me...and yall folks who laugh at my jokes and actually saved my families' life in such a rut. All because I got on my knees and prayed in that hot, humid car with moldy food and lack of water. Next thing I know, I put aside the stubbornness and asked for help (mainly a prayer, but it got turned into a blessing deeper than just a well-wish).

Folks would rather put their hands on a situation that they can't control, versus leaving it at the altar as the higher power can shift the atmosphere for the better.


TLDR: Most folks in general would rather believe in themselves and the almighty dollar, over the man above, and that's some real gospel. Like a money hungry former pastor of mines once said: "drug dealers put more faith in God, than the folks that go to church. They stand on the corner and believing a customer will come through...."
